St Helens are set to retain an unchanged side for the traditional Good Friday derby against Wigan Warriors.
Saints come into fixture on the back of a 24-6 success at Huddersfield Giants last time out.
Leon Pryce, Jon Wilkin and Gary Wheeler all picked up knocks in that victory but have been named in coach Mick Potter's initial 19-man squad to take on Wigan and are expected to feature.
Veteran prop Nick Fozzard has also been included and is pushing for a recall.
Barring a play-off meeting, this will be the last derby to take place at Knowsley Road as Saints are due to move into a new stadium next season.
League leaders Wigan are without hooker Mark Riddell due to a hamstring injury, as well as second rower Harrison Hansen, who could be sidelined for up to three months after being told he needs shoulder surgery.
Full-back Cameron Phelps is still sidelined by a leg problem but scrum-half Paul Deacon is back in contention after recovering from a groin injury.
St Helens squad: Gardner, Gidley, Meli, Pryce, Eastmond, Fozzard, Cunningham, Graham, Puletua, Wilkin, Flannery, Roby, Hargreaves, Moore, Clough, Ashurst, Wheeler, Dixon, Fa'asavalu
Wigan squad: Roberts, Gleeson, Carmont, Richards, S. Tomkins, Leuluai, Fielden, Coley, J. Tomkins, O'Loughlin, Prescott, McIlorum, Bailey, Paleaaesina, Deacon, O'Carroll, Mossop, Goulding, Farrell
